Chaos! Announces STATIC-X, THE DWELLING

Chaos! Comics has announced a July release for its first STATIC-X one-shot and a Black Label Graphics one-shot, THE DWELLING.

Static-X is one of the top industrial metal bands. The four members of Static-X have played on the successful Ozzfest tour. They have more than 1 million CDs sold with lead songs on the QUEEN OF THE DAMNED and the RESIDENT EVIL soundtrack albums.

"It sounds cliche but it's a dream come true to be featured in a comic book," says band member Tripp Eisen. "I grew up with comics and still read a few comics to this day. Chaos Comics was a logical choice and their stuff is right up our alley. Their imagery fits right in to the concept."

The comic book is set in the techno-doom laden future to come. The world is ruled by The State. Corporations and commercialism have been abolished. Wayne, Ken, Tony and Tripp (members of Static-X) are cybernetically enhanced workers, leading insignificant lives as slaves to The State. Memories intrude, reminding them of a time they worked together, nearly inciting a revolution. Is this the truth or another implanted memory? Will they learn the real story before it's too late or will they become the mindless agents that The State created them to be? Our fate rest in their hands.

Written by Chaos! Publisher Brian Pulido, the STATIC-X #1 comic will feature art by David Brewer with color by Jay Fotos. STATIC-X #1 is a 32-page, full-color comic book available in a band photo cover, an art cover, and a Collector's Edition cover with foil embossed autographs of each band member. As a bonus, a CD will be included with the song "Black & White" live from the Family Values tour, "Get to The Gone" live music video and special interview footage of the band ­ all unavailable anywhere else.

Pulido is also writing THE DWELLING, which centers on Aaron and Emily, a pair of introverted procrastinators, who discover a cave outside the dustbowl town of Amado, Arizona. Inside, they encounter The Dweller, an ancient evil that bends their minds and forces them to live their fears. Though they escape to town, the Dweller pursues them relentlessly, eroding their confidence, putting paralyzing fear into everyone who crosses his murderous path. Can the outsider teens unlock the hero within themselves and overcome their fears or will they, like everyone else in town, fall prey to The Dweller's call?
